I use Princos - I don't know their reflectivity value as Princo don't publish the info. They are cheap < £2 or $3

Mitsui DVD-Rs have a reflectivity of 50% and cost more than double that.

The spec says that reflectivity should lie in the range 45% to 85%. DVD-Rs below 45% will present problems to the PS2 laser if it is slightly / rather weak.
